The Wendy's Co. will move an additional 170 jobs to its Dublin headquarters and close all its
operations in Atlanta, the company said today. The decision was sparked in part by at least $3
million in additional incentives from the state of Ohio.

Wendy’s will close its Atlanta Restaurant Support Center operations in late 2012 and move the
jobs to Dublin. That move plus its earlier decision to relocate its headquarters from Atlanta
following the spinoff of the Arby's chain will result in a total of 220 jobs being moved to Dublin,
spokesman Bob Bertini said.

“While this was a difficult decision considering the excellent employees we have in Atlanta,
I believe it is important to bring our entire restaurant support center together in one location,”
Wendy’s CEO Emil Brolick said in a statement. “This action will help us strengthen collaboration
and teamwork as we grow our iconic brand.”
